RITA LUCILLE WALSH sr. IGNATIUS LoYoLA RECEPTION COMMITTBB-'29, '30, '31 One step at a time, but always forward. EVER studious and industrious with a com' plete absence of egotism, Rita has progressed steadily in the ways of knowledge. Her quiet, unassuming mien has won for her the esteem of her entire class. Surely her zealous efforts to complete whatever she attempts, will gain for her the future success, which she so justly merits, and which we so heartily predict for her. Since the finest gold needs burnishing, Rita's character will have to be purified by trials before it fulfills all the requirements of lofty ideals. ELIZABETH MARY WATSON CATHEDRAL A quiet tongue shows a wise head. ELIZABETH personihes the ambitious stu' dent. Never yet have we seen her waste a moment devoted to study. Little wonder then, that she has attained the title Historian of the Class. However, we must not allow our reader to get the impression of Elizabeth's being only a studious girl. On the contrary, she is always sociable and willing to oblige. May you triumph and persevere in the path of success. Ninetyfnine

WIT is the single word that can approximate' ly summarize Millie's personality, for to be witty, as we all know, one must also be clever, and indeed this girl has a generous supply of both. Her thorough democracy, together with her quickness of mind has insured her popularity among both the faculty and the students. If Millie be as successful later as she has been in her school activities, we already envy the position which we feel certain she will someday hold.

THIS Winsome and gifted classmate, with her ability to make and hold friends, has played a prominent role in our school activities. Casting about for Mae's outstanding char' acteristics, we unhesitatingly call to mind her good sportsmanship and resourcefulness. Our chum's love for beauty, and rare discernment of it promise well for her aspirations-to become a designer. True, the Future jealously guards her closed doors, yet we know that in so doing, it also guards E1 world of happiness for Mae.

VIRGINIA HELEN WILMOTH sr. JEAN THE BAPTIST DRAMATIC CLUBQ-'31 Her wit was more than man, l1e'r nocence, a child. ANNE J. B. WEIR HOLY NAME Damvmric CLUBVSSO, '31 RECEPTION COMMITTEE?l31 Elegant as simplicity and warm as ecstasy. WHEN recollections of these dear old goldenfrule days return to us in years to come, our thoughts will include this pleasing Miss, whose infectious laugh and optimistic nature has brightened our Cathedral school days. She is a fluent conversationist and a devotee of dancing. Her school spirit has been evidenced in the many activities to which she devoted her time and talent. Her warmth of disposition, her original opinions and her characteristic frankness can only merit honor for her. Let the old Caesarian expression Veni, vidi, vici be your motto, Anne, and when you have conquered, may we be among the first to voice our congratulations. inf VIRGINIA possesses a somewhat duplex disposition, she is at once serene and drole. Her sparkling Wit has entertained us during many a dull moment, and her knack of deriving fun from the most serious incidents makes her a lively and desirable chum. She is quiet at times, and at others all gaiety. Her laugh is deep, and resonant with a genuine ring. We love Virginia, not for what she has accomplished, but for what she is, a universal good sport, comrade, friend and loyal mate all in one, an enigmatic, yet none the less appealing young lady.
